#1153 Wayland problem

[Guus]

QMMP on wayland issue, when you use a winamp skin.

I am on openSUSE tumbleweed, and after an update to wayland, I cant move the winamp windows.

The seem to be frozen, and also overlap.

Maybe I need to talk to the wayland devs ?

When I log in as plasma X11 all is as it should be.

Unfortunately Wayland protocol does not allow application to control their windows positions. Some people trying to bypass this limitation by complicating the protocol: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/wayland/wayland-protocols/-/merge_requests/264 But without any luck.
If you find any solution or workaround, please, let me know.

And what about XWayland? Is it possible to use it?

I am not 100% sure, but think I switched to Xwayland.
On opensuse I have two desktop options.

When I start Xserver plasma all is fine. I do not know if that is xwayland though.
It could be I am just using Xserver, which does fix this issue.

Try to start qmmp from command line under Wayland:
QT_QPA_PLATFORM=xcb qmmp

Just to be clear it works.
But when I login with a wayland it does not

Check xorg-xwayland package installation. I am using Manjaro with KDE Wayland session.

I'm on neon+wayland and pressing Meta+Mouse Drag allows me to move it...

also, the title "Wayland problem" is a bit vague... how about something like "Can't Drag Windows under Wayland" ??? Would better fit as title!
